Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections are a major public health concern in India because of inadequate knowledge of antimicrobial resistance, limiting therapeutic options. The study aimed to characterize and analyse the genome of a 3rd-generation cephalosporins (3GCs)-resistant clinical isolate of Salmonella Bareilly-harbouring plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC) CMY-6. Identification, antibiotic susceptibility and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)-based analysis were performed. Transmissibility, replicon types of bla-harbouring plasmid were evaluated. S. Bareilly ST203 (Clonal-Complex 206.2) was isolated from clinical specimen of a paediatric patient and was found to be multidrug-resistant with resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolone and aminoglycosides. WGS revealed pAmpC bla on conjugative IncC plasmid (158,385 kb) which successfully transferred into the transconjugant with other resistance determinants (bla, armA, aac(6')-Ib-cr, sul1), showed higher MICs for 3GCs. Downstream regions of bla include blc (lipocalin), sugE (efflux protein) and truncated ecnR (entericidin R) followed by other resistance genes. Presence of ISEcp1 in the genome facilitated the transfer of bla Several efflux pump genes, two complete CRISPR arrays and intact phage sequences were also detected. Virulence factors associated with Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands SPI-1/SPI-2/SP-3 and their effectors indicated the virulence potential of this strain. To the best of our knowledge, genome of a 3GCs-resistant clinical isolate of S. Bareilly-harbouring pAmpC bla was reported and analysed for the first time in this study. S. Bareilly was found to cause outbreaks in earlier reports but lower resistance was reported in this serovar compared to other NTS. As infections by NTS are concerning, early detection of such strains is of utmost importance.

Drug discovery pipelines rely on the availability of isolated primary hepatocytes for investigating potential hepatotoxicity prior to clinical application. These hepatocytes are isolated from livers rejected for transplantation and subsequently cryopreserved for later usage. The gold standard cryopreservation technique, slow-freezing, is a labor-intensive process with significant poststorage viability loss.

Efflux-mediated antibiotic resistance poses a significant global threat, affecting diverse bacterial species. Clinicians recognize the danger of efflux mechanisms during antibiotic treatment, yet precise diagnostic tools remain unavailable. The antibiogram currently infers abnormal efflux pump activity in clinical isolates, which is subsequently confirmed through transcriptomic or genomic analysis.

The broth microdilution (BMD) test recommended for detecting colistin sensitivity is labor-intensive and difficult to perform under routine conditions. There is a need for alternative methods that produce fast and reliable results in routine laboratory studies.
